Paul A. Brucker

Paul A. Brucker, age 65, died unexpectedly on Sunday, October 24, 2010 in Sun Prairie, WI. He was born June 5, 1945, in Cropsey, IL, the son of Lawrence and Vera (Thomas) Brucker.   In his spare time, Paul enjoyed baking, nature, and especially gardening.  He shared these hobbies with his wife,  Janice (Mazich) Brucker, for 42 years. Paul was known as a ""hands on"" man when it came to fixing just about anything!   After his tour in the US Army, Paul taught Ag at the local high school  until he joined John Deere. There, he dedicated 25 years to a variety of roles in the Midwest. Not a man to sit on his hands, Paul took up a job for the Clack Corp. in Windsor shortly after retirement from Deere.   In addition to his wife Janice of Sun Prairie, survivors include a daughter Jacqueline (Jose) Martinez of NM; a son Joseph  Allen (Meggan Kehrli) Brucker of Chicago; ""soon to be"" grandson Dominic; a sister Elaine (Bill) Mies of TX; a sister-in-law Char Brucker of IL; a brother Thomas Brucker of IL and numerous nieces and nephews.  Paul was preceded in death by his parents and a brother Richard.   A private family service will be held at a later date.  Memorials may be given to the American Diabetes Research Assoc., 6400 Gisholt Drive, Suite 213, Monona, WI 53713.
